Helena Finished

Helena is finished. There was barely enough yarn left to sew the buttons and hems. I steamed it just a little this afternoon to get the bodice to lie perfectly-- but left the skirt as is to show off the texture of the lace pattern. I like mine better than the "Knitty" one which used ties instead of buttons. Of course, maybe it is the sweater's name, but I think it is very pretty !
